What's it all about?
The Eden Project does much more than offer a memorable day out in Cornwall. Eden is also a charity and social enterprise.
As well as creating stunning gardens and laying on fantastic arts and music events, much of our energy goes into:
- running transformational social and environmental projects on our doorstep and around the world
- creating unforgettable learning experiences for students
- doing valuable research into plants and conservation
- making sure we run our operations in the greenest possible way.
